Hasina shrugs off BNP movement threat

Brushing aside the BNP chairperson's threat to wage a fierce movement after Eid-ul-Azha, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Friday said Khaleda Zia is killing people in the name of movement and urged people to resist together if she starts doing that again.
"We're still hearing about her (Khaleda’s) threat to launch a movement. Her movement is nothing but killing people, and I urge the people of the country to come forward and resist together if she again starts killing in the name of movement," she said, according to a news agency.
The Prime Minister was addressing a press conference at her official residence Ganobhaban on the outcome of her recent US tour to attend the UNGA.
Hasina said people did not accept the movement of killing by BNP-Jamaat to foil the January-5 election though they had thought that they would be able to push the country in to a civil war with that. "So, the people of the country need to remain united and aware.”
Mentioning that the government would do whatever necessary to tackle the possible movement, Hasina said, "The government has power to be tougher to tackle any tough movement, but I always believe in people’s power."
Asked about the recent trend of distortion of history by some noted people through publishing books, the Prime Minister said the publishers also have some responsibility in this regard and they need to think how they could publish false information.
About the frequent comments of BNP chief's son Tarique Rahman from abroad about the country's history, Hasina did not go for making further comment on the issue saying that people know everything. "History is history and no one will be able to hide it."
